# Chapter 273: The Stolen Evidence and a Courtroom Turn
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 273 of *Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO Summary, Characters & Ending Guide*. We left off in the middle of a tense courtroom battle—one where secrets, betrayals, and old wounds are colliding. And now, with the entire room watching, a single blank screen may decide everything.
Ace frowned at the blank screen. He didn't need to look twice. Someone had swapped his flash drive. Cold, calculated, and precise—this wasn't a mistake. It was sabotage.
But if they expected panic, they would be sorely disappointed. Ace’s expression remained as calm as still water. No surprise. No frustration. No trace of alarm. Because Ace was never a man who relied on a single thread. Every file he had ever touched had long been backed up—securely stored on his personal computer, and mirrored on the cloud. The trap had snapped shut on empty air.
Sienna watched him closely. When she heard his calm words, her confidence only swelled. She knew her brother was behind this. If the evidence had truly vanished, then no matter what Autumn said, no one would believe her side. A case without proof was just a story—and stories can be twisted, dismissed, and buried.
Even Julian, the usually unshakable CEO, let a single flicker cross his face. It was subtle—a shadow, a shift, something complicated flickering behind his calm eyes. But Autumn saw it. She was watching him. And she knew that expression intimately.
Not as an opponent. Not as the man she had grudgingly fought across meeting tables.
She knew it from years of marriage. She knew the tiny muscles that tightened when he was hiding something. She knew the faint calculated glint when he had already decided a play before anyone else had even seen the board.
That look was proof. He had done it.
Autumn’s heart sank. She told herself she no longer cared. She told herself he was nothing to her now. But the memories rose like bitter smoke—every shared hurt, every silent coldness, every quiet betrayal folded into years together. She swallowed the ache, refusing to let it show on her face. But inside, she felt wronged all over again. It wasn't just about winning anymore. It was about the fact that this man, who had once been her husband, was still trying to destroy her.
Two minutes nearly slipped away.
Then Luna stood. Her voice, honeyed yet sharp, cut through the courtroom.
“Your Honor, the plaintiff's attorney said he only needed two minutes. That time has passed. I suggest we terminate his attempt.”
She paused, letting her words settle. Then she tilted her head ever so slightly.
“As an attorney, not only has he failed to manage his time, but he has also brought the wrong flash drive. This is unacceptable. We cannot let everyone in this courtroom be delayed because of one man’s carelessness. It simply isn't reasonable.”
Luna knew exactly why Ace had been tripped up. Because she was the one who had suggested it to Julian. She was the one who helped set the trap. The goal had been simple: to make Autumn lose. Luna didn’t want Sienna going to prison—she actually rather liked her future sister-in-law. Helping Sienna while stomping Autumn down? That was a move she would make without hesitation.
The judge lowered his head, rubbing his temple. He knew Ace well. This was one of the country’s top attorneys, a man who had never lost a case in his entire career. After joining the Sinclair Group, however, he had rarely appeared in public trials. For him to step into this courtroom today meant he was representing the Sinclair family. And with the Sinclairs holding half of Northhaven’s economy in their iron grip—who would dare offend them? Unless they had no intention of surviving in this city.
Just then, Jasmine rose as well. Her voice rang out with theatrical concern.
“Your Honor, I agree. The plaintiff's attorney's time has already run out. He should not be given another chance. First, he barely made it on time—which was already disrespectful. And now, he even brought the wrong flash drive. He clearly has no respect for the court at all.”
The spectators, spurred on by Jasmine’s words, began to stir and murmur. The noise swelled like a rising tide.
The judge struck his gavel. *Bang.*
“Silence. Order in the court. I will make the decision.”
Luna and Jasmine sat down reluctantly, their faces tight with barely concealed frustration.
But Ace had not been idle. His fingers moved rapidly across his tablet. Scene by scene, file by file, he restored every piece of evidence from his backup systems. Then, with the calm of a man who had never doubted his victory, he rose and handed his tablet to the judge.
On the screen, surveillance videos began to play. Stacked beside them were pages of collected written evidence—transaction records, time stamps, messages, everything carefully arranged. All of it pointed to one undeniable conclusion.
The truth, once hidden, now lay bare.
Sienna collapsed into her chair. Her eyes darted toward Will, her only lifeline, her so-called gold-medal lawyer. Desperation clawed at her voice.
“Mr. Foster, you’re supposed to be a famous gold-medal lawyer. Say something! Defend me! I don’t want to go to prison!”
Will stared at the overwhelming pile of evidence. Sweat beaded at his temple and began to slide down his cheek. His lips pressed into a thin line. He had a reputation, a career, a future to protect. But the evidence was damning, and he knew it.
Still, he rose. He had to try.
“Your Honor, I must question this. These videos... they could very well be AI-generated. We cannot take them at face value. The defense demands a thorough forensic verification before any of this can be admitted as credible evidence.”
The courtroom fell still again. But the air had changed. The confidence on Sienna’s face had cracked. Julian’s composure was no longer perfect. And Autumn—Autumn simply sat there, her gaze steady, as if she had known all along that the truth could not be buried forever.
The battle was far from over. But for the first time, the scales had begun to tilt.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, what a rush! This chapter was absolutely addictive. The tension never lets go—from Ace’s shockingly calm reaction to the swapped flash drive, to Autumn silently reading Julian’s guilt in a single glance, to the courtroom showdown that flips everything on its head. I loved the way Ace turned disaster into victory with nothing but a calm mind and cloud backups. And poor Will sweating bullets at the end—you could practically feel his panic. My heart aches for Autumn, seeing yet another betrayal from the man she once loved, but her quiet strength in the face of it all is simply beautiful. This chapter is intense, emotional, and packed with suspense.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With Ace’s evidence now in the judge’s hands, the defense will likely try to delay the proceedings by demanding forensic verification of the videos. But don't expect Autumn to stay silent. I predict she will produce even more decisive proof—perhaps a witness or a recorded conversation that destroys Will’s excuse. Meanwhile, Julian’s involvement may finally be exposed publicly, fracturing his alliance with Luna and forcing him to choose sides. And Sienna’s desperation could reach a breaking point, possibly driving her to reveal secrets even her brother doesn't know. The courtroom is about to explode.
